Diaper Bag Help! Skip Hop? JJ Cole? PPB? Can't decide!

Which did you choose and why? I can't decide! I was leaning towards PPB, but now am not sure. Tongue Tied

I LOVE my JJ Cole, especially the stroller hanger attachment. I also love that they can be used with other bags unlike the ones that just have attached clips.

However, I think it depends on you more then anything, how do you prefer to carry/wear a bag? I need it to be either a cross body or back pack or my spine gets all wonky......

HTH!!

My husband bought me a cute Coach bag. But this weekend I saw my sisters new diaper bag, a JJ Cole. I was sooo pretty. I thought it was  PPB. So when I drooling in Diaper bag envy and asked, she said no way would she spend the extra $100. It was a JJ Cole. Check them out a get what makes you happy.

My first bag was a JJ Cole. It has held up well and it's really functional. DH bought me a Skip Hop Versa bag for Christmas. It's not quite as functional, but it's super cute and big enough for 2 in diapers. It's too girly for DH though, so the JJ Cole bag is now his.

PPB. I loved the backpack and how the changing pad folded out from it. Its also was the perfect size and had compatments for bottles and small items.

I have the Skip Hop Studio bag in "champagne" and after 2.5 years it still looks brand new.  I never had a problem fitting everything I needed in it.

I am getting the skip hop studio because I've seen a lot of raves on The Bump about it, the price is decent, and it is a good looking bag.

I am looking at a JJ Cole.  So mad though, Amazon had some of the JJ Cole bags on sale for like $34 to $45 last week and now they all went up.  Took too long to decide on the color I wanted.  Oh well, I found that it helped to go into some of the stores that sold the diaper bags I was looking at so I could see how big they were, check out # pockets, etc.

We bought a skip hop. Still waiting for it to come in the mail. It was on sale and looked like something we will like.

I just checked this bag out online and it's on sale for $65 at BRU right now! It looks really nice!

I agree with the PP who posted about Babysteals. I had my eye on the Babymel Amanda bag for a few months. I found it in the Babysteals archive a few weeks ago (not sure how I missed it on all of my previous visits to the archive) and ordered it for half price! Just waiting for it to come in.

Babysteals often has JJ Cole bags on it and sometimes PPB. I'm a fan of bags that don't look like diaper bags so that's why I went for the Babymel. As for the PPB bags, I just couldn't find a design that I liked.

I had a Skip Hop messenger styled bag. I picked it because it didn't look like a diaper bag. I used it for 6 months before upgrading to an oversized Coach purse. There wasn't anything wrong with the SH and I liked it, but I realized that a large purse was more than enough to carry some diapers, wipes, snack and all of my stuff.
